Life and Eagle Scout Projects

POST Partners offers opportunities for Boy Scouts wishing to complete a project toward the rank of Eagle or Life Scout. Interested individuals must complete an Eagle and Life Scout application. Scouts must be at least 15 years old at time of application and / or a minimum of 90 days away from turning 18 in order to be considered for a project.

Individuals selected to complete a project must submit a statement of commitment and Eagle Project write-up for approval. Upon acceptance, the POST Partners volunteer coordinator will schedule a meeting with the applicant and will review the Eagle Scout program packet. Upon project completion, rosters and waivers are required to be submitted along with your final project write-up. Project write-ups must include a final material list and costs.

Supporting the scouts

The POST Partners Program has a long history of providing support to the Boy Scouts of America in their pursuit of the rank of Life or Eagle Scouts. Check out what value Scouts have added to the community below.

Tanner Elliott, Troop 637

Construction and installation of four split-log benches along Stewart Trail at Ridgeline Open Space – Tanner Elliott, from Troop 637 in Sedalia (100 hours). One of the unique things that happened during the course of Tanner’s project was the incorporation of making one of his benches a memorial bench for the Newell family and the family helping out with his project installation.

Joe Gabrielse, Troop 780

A trail reclamation project in the un-named open space parcel behind Castle Rock Elementary School (104 hours) - Joe Gabrielse, from Troop 780. As part of that overall plan, POST has been working with several Eagle Scouts over the last two years to reclaim eroded portions of the trails and forge new segments that are more sustainable. Joe was also awarded the Hornaday Award from the Boy Scouts of America Denver Area Council for his reclamation efforts.

Luke Rynearson, Troop 760

Boy Scout Luke Rynearson from Troop 760 organized a trash clean-up in East Plum Creek following monsoon rains. The increased water level and flow subsequently eroded into an old dump site along the creek, dumping cases full of plastic sheets and bags long the creek near the confluence. Forty-eight volunteers helped collect and dig out trash in the creek bed and sand bars. They collected 58 bags of trash, as well as many other miscellaneous debris items. Both concerned community members and troop members participated in the endeavor (171 hours).

Preston Smith

Boy Scout Preston Smith, from the LDS Troop in The Meadows, completed an Eagle Scout Project for the Community Garden at Glovers Park by building two new picnic benches for visitors to use.
